Operation mode of the servo amplifier : OPMODE |
Status Bar
The communication status between servo amplifier and setup software is indicated on the left side of this bar. On the right side of the status bar, the operation status (online/offline) and several other status messages are monitored.
Navigation Frame
|
In a structure similar to Windows Eplorer, links to all screen pages are listed that you need for setup, optimizing and monitoring of the servo amplifier. The selected screen is shown in the main frame. The top level of the tree shows the name of the connected servo amplifier (DRIVE0 in the example). |
Main Frame
The main frame (basic setup as an example) allows changing parameters, monitoring actual values of the servo amplifier and selecting functions.
